"Fixed spots" are a convenient method of not dealing with reality.

I love history, deep ocean, and space. I like to dig deep into things. This past year I was talking to NASA. I asked them about the theory: "Does the earth move around the sun, or do the planets, and our sun move around the earth?"
This was their reply: "We have no fixed point where we can answer that question. When we send anything out into space, we do all calculations with the earth standing still."
Well not...that puts that back to square one.

Uh-huh. Sure.

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
